Rose Marie (song)

"Rose Marie" is a popular song from the musical or operetta of the same name.

It was written by Rudolf Friml, Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II, and became a hit in 1955 for country music singer Slim Whitman.

Produced by Lew Chudd, Whitman's recording of the song spent 11 weeks at #1 in the UK - setting a record which was not beaten until 1991, when Bryan Adams spent 16 weeks at the top of the chart with "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You".
